They're not idiots, and yes, at the present rate, the oil will eventually run out. Maybe not for a long time, but it will happen.

We always hear that we have enough oil to last for decades, but what if something unexpected happened to change that? If a limited nuclear exchange were to occur (someone is going to screw up and try to ivade Isreal again one of these days) that wiped out many of the mid-east oil fields, it could take a long time to get the oil fields in the rest of the world producing enough to even come close to what we use now, and those wouldn't last forever either. It would be nice if someone had a "Plan-B" on the back-burner somewhere.
